Not So Fast

Alex Rodriguez lined a hit to left-center field to drive in the go-ahead run.

Alex Rodriguez's RBI single capped an incredible six-run rally in the eighth inning, as the Yankees made an improbable comeback to clip the Boston Red Sox, 8-7, to maintain hope for another AL East crown. It was last August 18-21 when the Yankees swept a five-game series at Boston, on their way to a ninth straight division title. Friday's victory mirrored a 14-11 Yankee win from last August 18 in the nightcap of a day/night doubleheader. That evening, New York scored seven times in the seventh inning in the longest nine-inning contest at 4 hours, 45 minutes. This one, which lasted two minutes shorter, saw the first seven Yankees reach safely in the eighth. continue>>

Unfortunately, beating Florida on the road will not be an easy task. continue>>
